All-Ireland GAA ESB MHC Q-Final – Tipperary v Wexford

July 25, 2009 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm

All-Ireland GAA ESB Minor Hurling Championship Quarter-Final

Tipp squeeze through to Minor Hurling semis

Report from the Irish Examiner web site

Tipperary 0-20 Wexford 0-19

A 76th minute point from Eanna Murray was the difference as Tipperary overcame Wexford after extra-time in today’s ESB All-Ireland MHC quarter-final at Portlaoise. Ahead by 0-07 to 0-06 at the interval, Wexford were pushed all the way by a Tipperary side that lost forward Michael O’Brien through a second yellow card on the restart. Tipperary broke in front for the first time in 27 minutes thanks to a superb score from defender Alan Hogan, but this game was closely contested throughout. The sides were level on four further occasions in the second half, with a point from Tipperary centre-back Brian Stapleton ensuring extra-time.

Wexford began strongly in extra-time with Jack Hobbs slotting over a point after just six seconds as the beaten Leinster finalists quickly built up a two-point advantage. But a brace of Murray points ensured the sides were deadlocked at half-time in extra-time. However, Tipperary proved strongest in the closing period and outscored Wexford by two points to one with top scorer Murray landing his ninth and most important point with four minutes remaining.
